Vet nil" ihe scanty furniture was arranged as neatly as possible, arid there were even some attempts at taste, us iu n bit of gaily colored chintz, rprond over a child's footstool, nud a solitary tlowor placed in the window-sent ; where the simbeums could touch its emerald leaven. ,'1'but flower!

And little Kuty lay back in her comfortless chidr, nnd looked nt the splendid rose which quivered lihe a ruby drop amrug the lenves, and watched tho sunlight writing its "oldeir message or. the crimson folds of the blossoms with a vague fueling of wonder. . It was so strange that the radiant son, whose glory lay on marble pillars and statt ly dwellings fur uwuy, should como to peep. into her lonely room. "1 that you, Jamie?" suid she. -softly, as the door opened, and ri boy of twelve came in. "Yes. l'o you feel any better, Kuty ? Are yon tired of being lift alone?" 'yet,very ( bat titers is such a weary aching urouud my heart, and sometimes it seems all ou fire.

Down at the piers all was confusion and uproarbusy passengers hurrying from uewly-arrived boatsr turbid waters dashing aod rolling against mossy posts swaying erowds, nod loud dissouunt voices, creuted a small bedlam around tho docks, and little Jamie wandered urouud with his board of fruit, feeling very lonely and bewildered. He had piled np the golden oranges with tbeir sunniest side upward ; he had polished the red checked apples until they shone like mirrors ; yet nobody stopped to buy. "Curriage, sir ?

Just at .present Ihe tempting morsel seems very fltr off to Jemie's imagination. Determined not to give way withont a vigorous effort, however, Jamie stepped boldly forward to tho first person he saw, and held up his wares with a modest, "Buy an orange, sir V .

A few apples lolled under tho feet of tho crowd, but it was impossible f.0 secure lljeyi agaiu. ' Jamio's first sKnsatiou was that of indignnut wrath j tho blush ran in angry JtoiTetts jo his cheek aud brow, and he sboujt his bmull fiat im potently iu tho direction which the fut muu hud tukeu. But in an instu'nt a feeling Qf forlorn wotchei!iic?s .como ever him j no tempting bit "of cake -uo purplo grapes for poor Katy perhaps not even a supper for he kuew his mother's wniges must go towards the rent of the room. They depended eutirely on his exertions for their evening meal, and the sun was decliujng in the Went ahoudy. ' The rillectioa was too much for hia boyish heart, and he was sobbing violeutly, when a gentle hand was laid on his Bhouldfr. He started up, aud before him stood a pleasant gentleman, who had watched the whole transaction."There, my boy," he said, laying a silver dollar in the boy's band, "that will sot you up again. ' No thanks ; the money was intended for some piece of extravagance, aud I choose to use it thus. But remember this, my boy, wheu you ore pushed down iu the race, don't stop to rub your bruises, but pick yourself up und start ogain." Jumie thought the smile with which this was said the pleusuntest aud kindest expression thut ever brightened a human face ; but ero ho could stammer oat I; is thanks, tho gentleman wus goue.

A splendid carriage cushioned with velvet, nud glittering in the sunshine, was drawn up opposite the door, waiting to take the great bunker to bis palatial homo. The spirited horses, foaming and prancing, could hardly be curbed, and the driver looked wonderingly toward the door, and marvolled why his usually puuetual master did uot come. Mr. Arnet stood iu a little ollico opening from tho main bank, where the long rows of clerks were bending over their desks. He was looking over a litlle pocket book .which be always carried about him, for soma note or bill, and as he turned its pngeu, a bit of folded paper dropped Out. The banker opened it, and although .tvtcnty yenrs hud deadened tho hrst eilgo of his sorrow, tho tears rushed to his eyes ts they fell on tbe contents. A pencil-sketch, rudo and unfinished of a meekhrowed child a lock of soft brown hair, aud that perfumed dust of a crimson rose j those were dearer to the bunker than his vaults of yellow gold. - As he looked nt them, a tremulous' voice without arrested .his ear. "1 would be glad if you would buy, gentlemen, for my need is very great. , I have a sickly daughter at homo who must, be fed." "Be off about yonr business," wus the sharp rejoinder. . ',1 won't let you in. , Dou't you see you are uot wanted here :" The voice seemed ,to strike a responsive chord in the rich mau's heart j surely ho had heard its mild tones before. Ho partiully opened tho door an l cnllod out sternly : "Mr. Waters, show that gentleman iu if yon pleaso." The abashed clerk obeyed, but not without surprise, aud tho old man, with his heavy basket of strawberries, came humbly into .tho pri-vato room of the treat banker. "Will you take a chair, sir ?" politely inquired Mr. Arnet, movitig forward a luxurious fauteuit. The old, man, taking off hi. bat. said: "Sir, I fear that I intrude On your valuable time. If you would buy some of my fruit-necessity, you know, is strong, nnd my poverty is extreme, I was not always iu such a position." Mr. Arnet wttched the prond turn of that gray head with a singular smile ; then sitting down to his desk he wroto off a check aud banded It across the table. "Oue thousand dollars P' fullered the old man as he read, turning red nnd white in a breath.' He held it toward .the. banker. "Sir, I hoped you were too. much of a gen-tlemuu to muko sport of age and distress. Is there anything to est about Iu my want ?' "ot at all, sir. You spoke of a sickly daughter.

Listen, sir," be resumed, with bright, earuest smile, "have yon any recollection of a forlorn boy, on a crowded pier, whose little all was scattered by a rnde bjow ? Have you forgotten bis distress ? have you forgotten that a kind sti anger (topped to comfort him, Dot ouly by money, but by cheering words?". Is it possible V stammered the old man. "Yes, it is possible. 1 am that forlorn boy.

There is a passage here thnt bus ever been present to my mind since your kind deed gave hope and courage to my life," lie opened the volume, aud through a soft mist of grateful tears, the old man read the Scripture words : ' "Cast thy bread npon tho waters, for thou shult find it after many days."

Mr. Green, tlie famous diver, tells singulur stories of his adventures when making search in the waters ot the ocean, llo gives some new sketches of what ho saw at the "Silver Bauk,''nearHayti s Tho banks of tho coinl on which my divings were tirst made ore about (orty miles in lengtn. nnd from ten to twenty in breadth. On" this bunk ot coral 13 prosoutcd to the diver ouo ol tho most beautiful and sublime scenes tho eye beheld. Tho wuter varies from ten to oue hundred feet in depth,and it is so clear that the diver can see from two to- three hundred feet, when submerged, with but little obstruction to tho sinht. The bottom qf the ocean, in many places, is as smooth' us a marble .iloori iu others it-is studded with coral columns from teuf to one hundred feet in height, and from one to eighty feet in diameter. The tops of tboso more lofty support a myriad of myromldal pendants, each forming a myriad more, giving the reality to tbe imninuitrT noodo or some water nymph. In other places tho penduuts form arch after arch, aud as-the diver stands on the bottom of the ocean aud gazes through in the deep wind ing avenue, to tiuds tuut they till Imn witu as sacred nn mvo as if he wero in some old cathe dral which had long beeu buried beneath old ocean's wave. Here nnd there the "coral ex tends eveu to the surface of the water, as if the loftier columns wero towers belonging to those stately temples that are now in ruius. There ate countless varieties of diminutive trees, shrubs and plants ' in every crevico of the coruls where water had deposited the earth. They were ull of a fuiut hue, owing to the pale light they received, although of every shade, and entirely different from plants thut I am familiar with that vegetate upon dry lund. One 'iu particular nttracfcid my at-tehlion ; it resembled a 6oa fun of immense size, of variegated colors and the most brilliant hue. Tho fish which iuhnbit these 'Silver Banks" I found as different in kicil as tho scenery was varied. They were of all forms, colors and sfees from the symmettical gony to the globe like suu-fish ; from those of the dullest hue to tho changeable dolphin ; from the harmless minnow to the voracious shark. Somo had.heada liko squirrels others like cats aud dogs, one of small size resembled the' bull terrier. ' Somo darted through the wator like meteors, while others could scarcely bo seen to move. Ta enumerate and explain ail. the various kinds of fish I beheld while diving on these banks would, wore I enough of a naturalists to do so, require mora than my limits would ullow, for I am convinced most of the kiuds of fish which iuhnbit tlie tropical seas, can be fonud there. Tho sunfish, sawfish, white shark, bluo or shovel noso shark, were often seen. There were olso fish which resembled plants and remained as fixed in the position as a shrub ; tho only power they possessed was to open aud shut when iu ditnger. Somo of them resembled tho rose when in full bloom, and were of all huos. Thejo were ribon fish. -from four to five inches to three feet in length ; their eyes nro very large, .aud protrude like, those of a frog. Another fish was (spotted like a leopard, from thiej to teq feet in lepgtb. They build their houses liko beavers, in which spawn, and tbe male or female watches tho egg until it hatches. I saw many specimens of tfie green turtle, some five feet Jong, which I should, thluk .would weigh from 400 to 5Q0 pouuds.

"Axo grinding" is a terra borrowed from' one of the most charming stories told by Ben-jumin Franklin. A little boy going to school was accosted by a man carrying uu axe. The ninn culls the boy all kinds of pretty and en-deuring names, and Induces him tooutera'yard where there is a grindstone. f'Now, my pretty little fellow," says be with the axe, "only turn that handle and you'll sec something pretty." The boy turns and turns, aud he hold the axe to (he stono and pours water over it until the axe is ground. Straightway he turns with strident yojee and fierce gesture on tho boy: 1'You abandoned Ijttbi miscreant," he criw, "what do you mean by playing truant fropi school? you deserve a good thrashing. Got yoa goao, r.irruh,' tliis'iusfaijt,.,' "And after this," adds Franklin, "when anybody fluttered me I always though he bad and axe to. grind." TnR Rtsu tuOIissoubi.

He was twice or thrice" tshosen to Congress from the Charleston District without opposition, and was the final rallying point cf the pro-slavery parties for Speaker of the "Banks Congress," the vote standing, Banks 103 ; Aiken 100.

And little Kuty lay back in her comfortless chidr, nnd looked nt the splendid rose which quivered lihe a ruby drop amrug the lenves, and watched tho sunlight writing its "oldeir message or. the crimson folds of the blossoms with a vague fueling of wonder. . It was so strange that the radiant son, whose glory lay on marble pillars and statt ly dwellings fur uwuy, should como to peep. into her lonely room. "1 that you, Jamie?" suid she. -softly, as the door opened, and ri boy of twelve came in. "Yes. l'o you feel any better, Kuty ? Are yon tired of being lift alone?"

Just at .present Ihe tempting morsel seems very fltr off to Jemie's imagination. Determined not to give way withont a vigorous effort, however, Jamie stepped boldly forward to tho first person he saw, and held up his wares with a modest, "Buy an orange, sir V .

A few apples lolled under tho feet of tho crowd, but it was impossible f.0 secure lljeyi agaiu. ' Jamio's first sKnsatiou was that of indignnut wrath j tho blush ran in angry JtoiTetts jo his cheek aud brow, and he sboujt his bmull fiat im potently iu tho direction which the fut muu hud tukeu. But in an instu'nt a feeling Qf forlorn wotchei!iic?s .como ever him j no tempting bit "of cake -uo purplo grapes for poor Katy perhaps not even a supper for he kuew his mother's wniges must go towards the rent of the room. They depended eutirely on his exertions for their evening meal, and the sun was decliujng in the Went ahoudy. ' The rillectioa was too much for hia boyish heart, and he was sobbing violeutly, when a gentle hand was laid on his Bhouldfr. He started up, aud before him stood a pleasant gentleman, who had watched the whole transaction."There, my boy," he said, laying a silver dollar in the boy's band, "that will sot you up again. ' No thanks ; the money was intended for some piece of extravagance, aud I choose to use it thus. But remember this, my boy, wheu you ore pushed down iu the race, don't stop to rub your bruises, but pick yourself up und start ogain." Jumie thought the smile with which this was said the pleusuntest aud kindest expression thut ever brightened a human face ; but ero ho could stammer oat I; is thanks, tho gentleman wus goue. ' The boy started for home with a light nud joyous heuri, stopping 'to purchaae jthe cher- ;shed morsol ol Jroit una cnue on liis way. The gentleman walked leisurely up IJrpadwuy.

There wis u yas,t difference between muu and child iu ,their capacities fr enjoyment, but both were happy thut night The supper p-as a joyful ceremony in the garret-room .that evening. TJio grapes pleas,od Katy's appetite to a charm, and the story of tho dollar was listened to with iuterest. "I wish I could see the kind iron tie man," suid the child earnestly ; "I would give him my beautiiul rose, u tie Iwed Lowers. She looked strangely beautiful that night, her head resting upon her brother's shoulder, while Jamie fed her with the juicy berries, cue by one, us a bird might feed its young. "Wnv, now bright tue color in your ctieeus, cried Jamie.. "I believo yon hav been steal ing tho red shadows from our fuvorite rose. Mother, 1 am suro Kuty wtll.get well." The next inoruiug, while yet the golden spear f f sunrise was iu rest among purple hills, Katy died. ' ' ' The moss of twenty years had gathered nn- pn Katy's heixdotJM ; lh9 ,violets t;f twenty' yearn had 'ulosiouied over her gravp, ',and it wus a glorious summer day, whoso light streamed along the busy thoroughfare, and shone on the magnificent ninrble erection de voted to tue oxiensivo operations ol tue celebrated Bunk of K . A splendid carriage cushioned with velvet, nud glittering in the sunshine, was drawn up opposite the door, waiting to take the great bunker to bis palatial homo. The spirited horses, foaming and prancing, could hardly be curbed, and the driver looked wonderingly toward the door, and marvolled why his usually puuetual master did uot come. Mr. Arnet stood iu a little ollico opening from tho main bank, where the long rows of clerks were bending over their desks. He was looking over a litlle pocket book .which be always carried about him, for soma note or bill, and as he turned its pngeu, a bit of folded paper dropped Out. The banker opened it, and although .tvtcnty yenrs hud deadened tho hrst eilgo of his sorrow, tho tears rushed to his eyes ts they fell on tbe contents. A pencil-sketch, rudo and unfinished of a meekhrowed child a lock of soft brown hair, aud that perfumed dust of a crimson rose j those were dearer to the bunker than his vaults of yellow gold. - As he looked nt them, a tremulous' voice without arrested .his ear. "1 would be glad if you would buy, gentlemen, for my need is very great. , I have a sickly daughter at homo who must, be fed." "Be off about yonr business," wus the sharp rejoinder. . ',1 won't let you in. , Dou't you see you are uot wanted here :" The voice seemed ,to strike a responsive chord in the rich mau's heart j surely ho had heard its mild tones before. Ho partiully opened tho door an l cnllod out sternly : "Mr. Waters, show that gentleman iu if yon pleaso." The abashed clerk obeyed, but not without surprise, aud tho old man, with his heavy basket of strawberries, came humbly into .tho pri-vato room of the treat banker. "Will you take a chair, sir ?" politely inquired Mr. Arnet, movitig forward a luxurious fauteuit. The old, man, taking off hi. bat. said: "Sir, I fear that I intrude On your valuable time. If you would buy some of my fruit-necessity, you know, is strong, nnd my poverty is extreme, I was not always iu such a position." Mr. Arnet wttched the prond turn of that gray head with a singular smile ; then sitting down to his desk he wroto off a check aud banded It across the table. "Oue thousand dollars P' fullered the old man as he read, turning red nnd white in a breath.' He held it toward .the. banker. "Sir, I hoped you were too. much of a gen-tlemuu to muko sport of age and distress. Is there anything to est about Iu my want ?' "ot at all, sir. You spoke of a sickly daughter.

Listen, sir," be resumed, with bright, earuest smile, "have yon any recollection of a forlorn boy, on a crowded pier, whose little all was scattered by a rnde bjow ?

Mr. Green, tlie famous diver, tells singulur stories of his adventures when making search in the waters ot the ocean, llo gives some new sketches of what ho saw at the "Silver Bauk,''nearHayti s Tho banks of tho coinl on which my divings were tirst made ore about (orty miles in lengtn. nnd from ten to twenty in breadth. On" this bunk ot coral 13 prosoutcd to the diver ouo ol tho most beautiful and sublime scenes tho eye beheld. Tho wuter varies from ten to oue hundred feet in depth,and it is so clear that the diver can see from two to- three hundred feet, when submerged, with but little obstruction to tho sinht. The bottom qf the ocean, in many places, is as smooth' us a marble .iloori iu others it-is studded with coral columns from teuf to one hundred feet in height, and from one to eighty feet in diameter. The tops of tboso more lofty support a myriad of myromldal pendants, each forming a myriad more, giving the reality to tbe imninuitrT noodo or some water nymph. In other places tho penduuts form arch after arch, aud as-the diver stands on the bottom of the ocean aud gazes through in the deep wind ing avenue, to tiuds tuut they till Imn witu as sacred nn mvo as if he wero in some old cathe dral which had long beeu buried beneath old ocean's wave. Here nnd there the "coral ex tends eveu to the surface of the water, as if the loftier columns wero towers belonging to those stately temples that are now in ruius. There ate countless varieties of diminutive trees, shrubs and plants ' in every crevico of the coruls where water had deposited the earth. They were ull of a fuiut hue, owing to the pale light they received, although of every shade, and entirely different from plants thut I am familiar with that vegetate upon dry lund. One 'iu particular nttracfcid my at-tehlion ; it resembled a 6oa fun of immense size, of variegated colors and the most brilliant hue. Tho fish which iuhnbit these 'Silver Banks" I found as different in kicil as tho scenery was varied. They were of all forms, colors and sfees from the symmettical gony to the globe like suu-fish ; from those of the dullest hue to tho changeable dolphin ; from the harmless minnow to the voracious shark. Somo had.heada liko squirrels others like cats aud dogs, one of small size resembled the' bull terrier. ' Somo darted through the wator like meteors, while others could scarcely bo seen to move. Ta enumerate and explain ail. the various kinds of fish I beheld while diving on these banks would, wore I enough of a naturalists to do so, require mora than my limits would ullow, for I am convinced most of the kiuds of fish which iuhnbit tlie tropical seas, can be fonud there. Tho sunfish, sawfish, white shark, bluo or shovel noso shark, were often seen. There were olso fish which resembled plants and remained as fixed in the position as a shrub ; tho only power they possessed was to open aud shut when iu ditnger. Somo of them resembled tho rose when in full bloom, and were of all huos. Thejo were ribon fish. -from four to five inches to three feet in length ; their eyes nro very large, .aud protrude like, those of a frog. Another fish was (spotted like a leopard, from thiej to teq feet in lepgtb. They build their houses liko beavers, in which spawn, and tbe male or female watches tho egg until it hatches. I saw many specimens of tfie green turtle, some five feet Jong, which I should, thluk .would weigh from 400 to 5Q0 pouuds.

"Axo grinding" is a terra borrowed from' one of the most charming stories told by Ben-jumin Franklin. A little boy going to school was accosted by a man carrying uu axe. The ninn culls the boy all kinds of pretty and en-deuring names, and Induces him tooutera'yard where there is a grindstone. f'Now, my pretty little fellow," says be with the axe, "only turn that handle and you'll sec something pretty." The boy turns and turns, aud he hold the axe to (he stono and pours water over it until the axe is ground. Straightway he turns with strident yojee and fierce gesture on tho boy: 1'You abandoned Ijttbi miscreant," he criw, "what do you mean by playing truant fropi school? you deserve a good thrashing. Got yoa goao, r.irruh,' tliis'iusfaijt,.,' "And after this," adds Franklin, "when anybody fluttered me I always though he bad and axe to. grind." TnR Rtsu tuOIissoubi.

He was twice or thrice" tshosen to Congress from the Charleston District without opposition, and was the final rallying point cf the pro-slavery parties for Speaker of the "Banks Congress," the vote standing, Banks 103 ; Aiken 100.
